[Music]

thank you very much for

your gracious welcome may the lord bless

you in jesus name

amen

the first time

i would meet

reverend edwin was in nairobi kenya

we met at a conference and it was such

a wonderful experience

very humble

very passionate very loving man of god

and

from that time

until now

it's been from glory to glory and sir

thank you very much thank you for the

honor

of blessing god's people and blessing

and no good state again let's give him a

big big big god bless you

hallelujah

and then

to thank our very own father and mother

bishop onobogo lord bless you may the

lord honor you

in jesus name i pray for the sake of

time we honor

everyone

here represented our ministers and all

who are deserving of honor the lord

bless you in jesus name let's lift our

hands to heaven and ask the lord to give

us

a very mighty encounter even by his word

go ahead and pray speak to the lord

the bible declares for everyone that ask

it

receiveth

everyone who seeks finds and to him that

knocks

it shall be opened

someone is praying

give me an encounter tonight indeed that

i will soar indeed that i will soar

[Music]

in jesus

name we pray

may i

may i encourage us to

pay very diligent attention

[Music]

we have

um a very brief session tonight and it

is my prayer that it will not just be a

waste of our time in the name of jesus

that our hearts will be opened to learn

i was greatly inspired by

reverend edwin's church before i came

not because

i was hearing what he was saying for the

first time but

i was assimilating once again the

truthfulness of what he was saying

how that there are people

who can walk

and faint as a result there are those

who will run

and even with that advantage of speed

we'll be wary

are we together

there are those who can soar

in fact

to add to what he has said there is a

difference between flying and soaring

flying would still require your effort

even though you are above the ground but

soaring you had taken advantage of the

wind

hallelujah

and so truly the choice is yours he said

i said before you life and death i sent

before you blessing and cursing it is my

prayer that this will not just be one of

the many conferences but that something

definite will rest upon your spirit man

so father speak to our hearts

and help us tonight we have come to

encounter your wisdom

let your word come with power

in jesus name

hallelujah

please be seated god bless you

you

are

ebenezer

you

are

ebenezer

that's my

testimony you

are

heaven

[Music]

how do you explain

a life

with no advantage how do you explain an

individual who lost his father

lost his mother and yet will defy

everything that makes for mediocrity to

become great

how do you explain

an individual who is taken from a

village

and now he's been celebrated across the

globe whether as a man or a woman how do

you explain individuals who in spite of

their speech

impediments having a plethora of

limitations and yet they still rise like

the devil does not exist how do you

explain

that every system of advantage does not

seem to be there and while you are

prophesying and predicting they are

doomed they are rising by an agency that

you cannot even explain

i didn't raise this song just to start

preaching you see

when i'm on stage in as much as i

compose myself to minister to people

i preach from a standpoint of

truthfulness i meditate and believe the

things that i'm thinking about i'm just

thinking about what god is able to do

and that you that i am praying that you

will actually believe he can do it in

your life

there are certain manifestations and

certain dimensions of living

that

it defies any kind of explanation you

want to give

you see

anything plus god

anything at all plus god is equal to the

result he puts there

one plus one is equal to two based on

the law of logic and arithmetic are we

together now yes

but anything plus god in it

do not even make an attempt to predict

what it can become

a failure plus god can become a sign and

a wonder

a mediocre plus god can become a sign

and a wonder

is tamara plus god can become a prophet

that brings people from the land of

bondage into the land flowing with milk

and honey

there is no limit

to the possibilities that exist in the

life of a believer in christ listen

the life we've been called into

is a life of tremendous advantage if and

when you understand the systems that god

has built to guarantee that advantage

please listen very carefully

just because you are saved does not

guarantee that you will walk in the

possibilities that this kingdom life

provides

ephesians 4 18 they know not

neither will they understand they walk

on in darkness and the bible says all

the foundations of the earth are out of

course i just quoted psalm 82 my

apologies from verse five to seven it

says i have said ye are god and all of

you are children of the most high seven

says but you shall die like men men and

fall like one of the princes

in ephesians 4 18 it says having their

understanding darkened being alienated

from the life of god through the

ignorance that is seen

in them because of the blindness of

their heart

hallelujah

[Music]

the faith life the spirit life the

kingdom life is knowledge dependent

and you see when it has to do with

acquiring the knowledge that translates

into authority

there is a standard of knowledge you

must attain unto

hallelujah

in first corinthians chapter eight and

verse two the bible says and let him

that thinketh that he know it anything

know that he does not know as he ought

to know that means there is a standard

you are not given the liberty to

determine

what you want to know just by yourself

there is a standard that means if you

must attain to this level of the

anointing this level of favor this level

of grace there is already a preset

knowledge requirement you must rise onto

that height so just saying i know

something does not give you your result

if we switch off the light in this room

right now you can put on the little

light of your phone it is light but not

enough to swallow the darkness within

the room

so

most believers have pieces of truth here

and there a little knowledge about favor

a little knowledge about speed a little

knowledge about prayer a little

knowledge about fasting and they are

like tiny pieces of light and in the

presence of reality they cannot do much

hallelujah do you know the kind of speed

that a plane

do you know that every plane starts by

walking then running

then it runs at a speed that becomes

unfair to keep running

there is a level of speed that the

ground can no longer take then it now

begins to soar

so soaring is a possibility with that

plane but it does not mean that it will

decide its speed no the build-up of the

plane already there is a speed

requirement

it is a risk for the pilot to try to

soar until that speed range has come in

are we together now many people try to

swallow but what backs you to rise is

not there

so there are all kinds of destiny

crashes like plane crashes very arrogant

statements that cannot be defended by

light and knowledge

most of us here have flown many times

and it does not matter whether it's a

boeing doesn't matter whether it's a

bombardier challenger doesn't matter it

is the same principle

so

when the plane starts moving you would

think it is too big and it cannot run

and then give it a little time once it

gets to the wrong way they now say

fasten your seat belt and it runs and

runs and the all the pilot is doing is

watching for a particular speed range

the moment it gets there then

it's ready to sow it is a risk to try to

sow in ignorance or limited knowledge

let me show you something

luke chapter one please we're reading

the first four verses

god is speaking to us already please say

amen

it says for as much as many

have taken in hand to set foot in order

a declaration of those things which are

most surely believed among us verse 2.

it says even as they were delivered unto

us

which from the beginning were

eyewitnesses and ministers of the world

i wanted to read verse 3 together ready

one to read he said it seemed good to me

also haven't had perfect understanding

of how many things

that means there is a level of spiritual

understanding it is within the

possibilities of men to drive to a level

of knowledge and intelligence with

exactitude having a perfect

understanding

of all things from the very first to

write to you that means i am writing to

you from a standpoint of authority

perfect understanding of all things

verse 4

this is the reason

that thou my test know the certainty

of those things wearing doubt has been

instructed i don't just want you to

believe it because i am saying it he's

saying i want you to believe it because

the things that are taught you are not

corningly devised fables these are

truths that can lift

so ladies and gentlemen what you are

hearing tonight and what you'll be

hearing all through this conference

please do not make a mistake of

trivializing them or cherry-picking them

it is arrogance respectfully speaking it

is arrogance for a student to choose

what to listen for from a lecturer

the student is in the class to learn

whether you like what the lecturer is

teaching or not you have to be able to

trust that the university that employed

that lecture have vetted him enough and

if you do not trust the lecturer and you

decide to cherry pick what you want to

pick and throw the rest there will be

gaps in your knowledge and those gaps

will make you ineffective later on in

the future

a student is not at liberty to decide

what he wants to learn he sits down and

learns what he needs to learn

hallelujah when the oil finished the

recommendation was go to them that sell

if they say go to god

go to them that sell and buy

[Music]

so are you ready for tonight

romans chapter 9

i'll be taking a series of teachings

tonight and then we'll wrap up tomorrow

helped by god

romans chapter 9 and verse 16

9 and 16 of romans

paul was mentoring the church in rome

helping them to mature in their

understanding

and in the matters of the spirit and he

had this to say so then

it is not of him that we let

nor of him that runeth but of god that

showed mercy

hallelujah

it is not remember we we spoke about

running and it is not of him that we let

no of him that run it let me tell you

what that means the person who wields

has done something noble because he's

now in the realm of mind the mind he's

already working on his mind and we know

the relationship between your mind and

your results

he's done something commendable but he's

saying even that does not give a

guarantee

and then him that run it is one who has

gone a step further to take action he

said even in the presence of that action

it does not still give you a hundred

percent guarantee because there are

times that your boat is right there are

times that you are in the sea that's

where you should be when you want to

catch fish there are times that your

skill is intact and yet you will not

catch fish

hallelujah

at that point you don't need fishing

skills again

you need the mercy of god we're coming

there

it is not of him that we left now he is

not saying you should not will

he is not saying you should not run but

he said while you engage in these

activities on it at the back of

your mind that there is a gap in the

equation of greatness that only the size

of god can feel it is not all scientific

it is not all intellectual are we

together

run away from any man who does not have

a god factor in the equation of his

greatness that is a risk there there

must be a part of your story you have to

honestly admit that from here to here i

don't know what happened

i know that i prayed there was prayer in

that equation i know that i fasted i

know that i listen i know that he

prophesied but from this point to this

point if i'm to be honest

i know that i was carried on the wings

of the spirit

[Music]

are we together second scripture please

acts chapter 26 and verse 22 may this be

someone's testimony

acts chapter 26 and verse 22

just the a part having therefore

obtained help of god

i continue on to this day

that means if you see me continuing

it's not just because i had the strength

in myself to continue

the secret behind my continuity is that

i have mastered the system of obtaining

help that means there is something god

does to men to keep them moving

if you see anybody moving

the natural cause of men is that

wariness should catch up with you

eventually so if you see that i'm making

progress and you check the awareness

factor and it's not there i have

outsourced an agency called help from

god

having therefore obtained help from god

i continue to this day it doesn't tell

us from when he started but no matter

how long i am still standing and the

secret is that i have obtained help

from god

help from god

second chronicles

chapter 26

we'll read two verses and then i begin

to teach verse 5 and verse 15

second chronicles chapter 26

the bible says speaking about musia

it says he sought god

in the days of zechariah who had

understanding in the visions of god the

bible says and as long as he sought the

lord he says god made him to prosper who

made him prosper

so we don't just prosper the concept of

self-made does not in in it doesn't

stand in the kingdom it says god made

him

like you say a woman made

this cake baked this cake or cooked this

god made him

until god came he was not

god made him to prosper now verse 15.

this is how it played out

the bible says and he made in jerusalem

in james

invented by cunning men are we together

to be on the towers

and upon the pool walks

to shoot arrows and great stones without

please elect us to read the last

sentence ready one to read and his name

spread far abroad for he was marvelously

helped till he was strong

so when the bible says god made him

it is another expression of god helping

so god makes man

by helping them the realm of god's help

is the realm where he makes men

he makes men all men by helping them

this is very powerful in psalm 121 first

two verses it says i will lift up my

eyes onto the heels are we together it

says whence commit my help so he's

talking about help and assistance here

verse two my help i don't know where

yours comes from it's a risk to speak

for everybody it says my help

that means the lord is not the only one

who helps

but you can know who helped by the side

effects or otherwise

it says when you look at my life i will

tell you my help comes every help has

addressed you can know this one came

from an uncle this one came from your

intellect my help

not our help

my help

comment from the lord

there you see our word again

which made

heavens and the earth it is not only

heavens and the earth that god makes he

can make anything

the heavens and the earth is only an

example of what he can make

so the next time you look at a life and

wonder how did you transit this way how

is god doing this just know that he has

had an encounter with the maker who is

also called the helper

please pay attention you're about to

learn something very powerful so we have

established the fact that we do not make

progress just by intentions as powerful

as principles are as powerful as

obedience is as powerful as complying

with spiritual principles are we have

acknowledged and admitted that there is

a an equation in the rising and the

excelling of any and every man that only

god can give answers to

i know you worked hard

but what of waking up from the bed

what principle governs sleeping well and

waking up

i understand that obedience can bring

favor but when you go to the is it not

in your bible you say i lay me down and

i slept i wait for the lord sustain me

[Music]

write this word help down please

what does it mean to help

someone's life is changing in the name

of jesus listen this conference is

bringing you to a point where you

thoroughly understand the systems of the

kingdom as far as the rising and the

excelling of men is concerned and this

teaching immediately

will strangle away the possibility of

walking in pride because you will know

immediately like all others will know

too that there is a side to your life

that cannot be credited to effort or

intelligence

a man can receive nothing except it is

given

hallelujah is god speaking to us already

write the word help down please

let's discuss that word what does it

mean to help

whether to be helped or to help someone

the word help h-e-l-p

i wrote a few things down and i want us

to look at it very carefully number one

to help means

to make it easy

or possible for someone

to do or achieve something

to make it easy

or to make it possible for someone to do

or achieve something by offering your

service or offering your resources

that's what it means to help it's

important that we define what help is so

that you will know what is happening to

you now and you will know what will

follow you for the rest of your life

are we together

because

somewhere in this teaching you are going

to understand why the psalmist says

surely goodness and mercy shall follow

me

when you care

you just write this down

to help means to make easy or possible

for someone to do or achieve something

that means the goal of help is to bring

ease or to create possibilities

are we together

um let me have one of the protocol

please come sir

please stand here watch this everyone

now

my one hand my right hand is holding a

mic so i don't have the liberty to hold

this i'm trying to lift this are we

together it does not mean i cannot lift

it but it will not be easy i need to

lift it for the next 10 minutes

but now i may attempt to lift it now

he wants to help me watch now what is

his role now his role is not to take

away my responsibility he is to provide

a leverage to make it easy place your

hand there

now watch this

if you are not seeing this guy and you

are not seeing his hand who will you

give the credit to

you will say how come this guy is

holding this on one side it's not even

balanced yes it is standing

but you did not know that there is

somebody at the other side of my destiny

listen

for many people your life will be a

mystery from this night in the mighty

name of jesus christ the son of the

living god the same way i gave this

illustration i just prophesied over

someone's destiny in the mighty name of

jesus christ

it is only marvelous in our side when it

is the lord's doing

if it is man's doing it is natural to

our side

please come again

don't waste this revelation watch this

this is your spiritual life

this is your ministry

this is your finances

ladies and gentlemen this is you in

enugu state desiring to be a blessing to

the nations you are right here but they

need to see you by your strength you are

limited

i will soar with you

above the clouds

[Music]

father you working

over

the storm

[Music]

and i will be still here

i

will be

[Music]

so to help

does not mean to take over

responsibility thank you sir

to help

means

to make it easy the assignment of help

is to provide the leverage that brings

ease

and to create possibilities there are

some things that have no business

happening please look at me for instance

let's assume you were supposed to go

through this door

and a time was already allocated

and after that time the door would be

closed are we together

but then you came late

and the door was legitimately closed so

it was not being unfair to you

you simply did not meet the time

but if someone now says there is an

advantage i have either by reason of

being a staff in that company or by

reason of being an owner i can give you

my card you swipe your card in front of

that door and even though you were late

it does not take away the rule that

whoever comes late should not access the

rule still stands it only change for you

[Music]

you are helped when the rules change

for you

so when god is helping you

you must be careful

so that you do not teach people

to be irresponsible you must understand

that it was something unique that was

done for you

for instance

to a latina story if i come let's say

was to be shot by six

and i came 6 15 and the door was shot we

may be 10 there but because of one

person who gave me his card if that door

opens i will not tell them look you can

come late and go away with it

i was helped that is my advantage so

when i'm in the room where those who

came early they knew that i came late

and they are asking what are you still

doing here and i tell them you use

meritocracy to get into this room but i

was helped by god

helped by god

helped by god

there are people who would turn back in

destiny and be surprised and say you are

not supposed to be here

by what means that you get here

some trust in horses and others chariots

it says what we will trust in the name

listen

before you talk a man down

make sure you verify that there is no

system of divine help

then you can talk

but if for any reason

that man has found a way of obtaining

hell from god get ready to say sorry

and say it early because it will be more

painful as the days progress

when god decides to help a man ladies

and gentlemen all you will see at the

other end of that help is a sign and a

wonder

you are

ebenezer

my

helper you

[Music]

so

[Music]

the goal of help

remember please do not forget this that

in communicating help

the goal

is number one

to make it easy remember

the first goal of help is is

to provide

number two the second goal of help is to

provide possibilities

things that had no business happening

based on the natural cost of things they

are now manipulated by a leverage you

receive

hallelujah

in my definition i said

to make easy or possible for someone to

do or achieve something

by offering your service or offering

your resources please do not forget we

are not just playing with words

that means in helping someone if you are

the one who is the helper

there are only two ways you can help the

person in need of help number one

provide your service number two provide

your resources

your resources there can mean your

leverage can mean money can mean

whatever it is

it is not of him that we let

nor of him that run it

it is not of him that do business or

does business it is not just of him that

preaches it is not just of him that is

sincere it is the lord that shows man

mercy it says heaven obtain help from

god i continue

usia was marvelously helped the bible

did not just say he was helped he was

helped in annoying he's already a marvel

that he was helped but now the bible

says he was marvelously helped

there are three biblical ways that god

helps men

who take a bit tonight and then we

finish up

please do not forget

there are three scriptural ways

god helps men every time you cry for

help because remember the bible says let

us therefore come boldly to the throne

of grace remember it says that we may

obtain

mercy and find

hell

so we can we can find that we can find

the grace that provides help even in

times of need

number one

the first way god helps men

is by administering his mercy to man

the first biblical way god helps a man

is by making you a recipient of his

mercy you know a man that has been

helped or he's been helped by it is

impossible to say you were helped by god

and we do not find mercy at the corridor

of your life

the mercy of god

is what opens up the door to his help

the first way god visits men to help

them to assist them to provide

possibilities in their life he provides

that resource

of his mercy someone shout mercy

number two

the second way

god helps men

is by exposing them to the ministry of

men

the second way god helps man

is by exposing the ones in need of help

to the ministry of man

there is such a thing as the ministry

of men

the third way

god provides help in this kingdom

is by granting you access to the person

and the ministry of the holy spirit

write it down these are the three

biblical ways from genesis to revelation

every time you find a man who has been

helped by god he was exposed to one

more or all of these factors number one

access to the mercy of god

number two access to the ministry of men

number three access to the person and

the ministry of the holy spirit

helped by god

by being a recipient of his mercy

helped by god by enjoying the ministry

of men helped by god by enjoying the

rich heritage of the ministry of the

spirit

outside of these three factors there is

no possibility for man to obtain help

from god are we together now

so that when you are saying god help me

you know what you are asking

god help me means god show me mercy

god help me means god send a man to my

life

god help me means reveal the holy spirit

to me you see most believers the reason

why our christian experience is not rich

and constructive is because we say a lot

of things and even pray a lot of things

without understanding and definition are

we together

now when you go to pray and you say

father i obtain help

your mind can partner with the world

because you understand what you are

saying there is intelligence to your

request you already understand the

dimensions of the help that can come

health means mercy

help means man

hell means the spirit of god is he not

called the helper

that means

if you obtain mercy

and the ministry of men

and the ministry of the spirit

it's like a tripartite signature that

will be signed upon your life it will be

impossible

unmistakable

for anyone to doubt where your help and

your lifting came from

for others you have obtained mercy

but you have not enjoyed the ministry of

men

for others you have not enjoyed the

ministry of the holy spirit you do not

even know him this is the scope of my

discussion with you through this

conference we are going to touch a bit

on the subject of mercy

because many people do not understand

the mercy of god i had to study the

subject myself

the mercy of god

the ministry of man

and the ministry of the spirit

there are other people who have ignored

the ministry of the spirit simply

because he's invisible

are we together and so they love the

ministry of men and that is wonderful

but they will not pay attention to the

ministry of the holy spirit because they

have not learned they have not been

taught the value

the value

of knowing the holy spirit

and walking with the holy spirit

it is true that god helps men now

let me paint for you very quickly a

picture of a man who does not have help

in his life

it's important who how do you know a man

who is without help

there has to be a way of identifying who

has not been helped so that you can help

the person by exposing him to the

pathway that leads to that help is that

true please look up

medically

there are many illnesses you can

literally look at someone and know that

the person is not feeling fine is that

true you don't need to be a doctor

when you're a doctor or a medical

professional it adds it it's an added

advantage because you can know but you

can you can you can know that this

person

is not at the best state of health there

are very clear indices are we together

no joy no peace restlessness abnormal

body temperature

loss of appetite are we together the

person is probably losing weight the

inability to stand strong

and several other things complications

here and there let me paint for you

the picture of a man

who has not

received help of god

every time

please look up every time

your life

becomes inexplanably

[Music]

difficult

every time the law of seed time and

harvest does not seem to work in your

life it doesn't matter what you sow

it looks like there is no harvest i'm

not talking of money you understand what

i mean

i'm trying to paint a picture number two

any man

who does not receive the ministry of men

it looks like the system around you

ignores you and ignores the value you

carry and the investment of god's grace

upon your life

these are very clear indices that show

you that you are on your own you are not

being helped by god

[Music]

one of the clearest

proof of being alone and without help is

confusion

confusion

confusion

absence of direction absence of

exactitude

that you seem to be under everything

under the yoke of men

under the yoke of spirits under the yoke

of systems and structures

then you know that that individual has

not experienced the help of god

how do you know that you have not

experienced the help of god when

it is listen there is no advantage in

your life to turn negative things around

into that which makes for joy and

testimony

for someone seated here i just described

you

or describe your family or describe your

experience profitless label

living spiritually nothing is happening

financially nothing is happening destiny

wise nothing is happening

let me tell you the truth

it is possible that you are sincere it

is possible you are honest but this is

not an issue of just honesty or

dishonesty have you been helped by god

are we together let's talk about the

first way god helps men

mercy

may this be a revelation for someone

in the name of jesus christ

deuteronomy chapter 4 and verse 31 let's

read together we'll find somewhere to

pray

but thou

o lord

had a shield for me

my glory

the lifter up of

[Music]

for me

my glory

the lifter of

deuteronomy 4 31

hallelujah

are you ready let's read together one to

read

for the lord thy god is a merciful god

he will not forsake thee

neither destroy thee

nor forget the covenant of thy fathers

which he swear unto them so it gives you

a very powerful information about god

that god is a merciful god

god is a merciful god

i took out time sir to study the subject

of mercy because i'd heard a lot of

teachings about the mercy of god

and

the concept and the narrative that most

believers have received in the body of

christ about the mercy of god is that

the mercy of god only relates to sinners

so they look at mercy only

as a tool for redemption you know from

sin

to get an individual saved so when you

mention the language of message to a

believer chances are excellent you will

frown at it so that it doesn't look like

you are guilty of anything

a tender message blot out my

transgressions in fact if you read from

verse one to the last verse this is one

of the classic theological scriptures

that describe the mercy of god

in a very in a very unusual and a very

clear manner

have mercy upon me

now there are two things you need to

understand i hope i've not lost you

if you want to understand the mercy of

god there are two things you need to

understand number one you need to know

the nature of god

without understanding the nature of god

you cannot understand his mercy i have

studied this myself number two you have

to understand the nature of man

these are the two important information

that until and unless you have them the

revelation of mercy may not make sense

to you

something about the nature of god

is what makes you have the confidence to

come and obtain mercy and something

about the nature of man is what will

make you need mercy forever are we

together there is something about the

nature of man that if understood puts

you perpetually in a position where you

are in need of god's mercy that anytime

you do not desire the mercy of god is

because there is a level of ignorance in

you about the nature of man

the nature of god what does the bible

say about god first john chapter 4 and

verse 8 the bible says god is love

please shout the people of god one more

time say god is love

one more time say god is love

watch this

the mercy of god is founded on his love

that means this description about the

character of god being loved

is what makes his administrative mercy

possible are we together now there is no

possibility to show mercy i will define

mercy for you shortly but that every

time you obtain mercy from god there is

something about the nature of god that

makes obtaining mercy a possibility and

that indefinitely provide that you are

in need of his mercy

reverend

preached my message

in the short charge that you gave sir

i sat down there and i was thanking god

for

he is giving imagery to my message using

his own life

and when he was celebrating and honoring

our mother he made a statement he said

every time i am hungry did you hear that

he said when i'm hungry i just go to

mummy even if it is 12 midnight take

note

12 midnight is an inconveniencing it is

not a time that i mean you don't get up

and cook for someone

as if as if you're concocting a charm by

12 midnight but that is how far love can

go

and he said as soon as she sees him

she'll say

swallow or rise

marvelously helped

this is

are we together now that is the mercy of

god now

he did not tell us it happened only once

he did not tell us it happened only two

times so for you to understand why mama

kept doing that you have to study

something about her nature

why does god keep showing mercy

god are you not tired of me

is it that there's something about

something about my life should irritate

you by now

[Music]

god's consistency is based on this

quality that god

is

love

are we together now

this is very powerful

[Music]

men can be tired if i help you today and

you come tomorrow and you come next week

and say calvary greetings i'll say go

back please i'm tired of this i can't be

i can be giving you food every day this

is not a restaurant i've tried even god

knows i've made my contribution call

another destiny helper and it doesn't

mean i'm bad it just means i'm human

[Music]

[Music]

someone shout god is love

psalm 145 psalm 145 my god

someone's life is changing right now

psalm 145

from verse eight and nine

i'm showing you how god helps man

that the first way god helps man is to

make his mercy

accessible

the lord is gracious

and full of compassion

slow to anger

and of great mercy the psalmist is

describing his knowledge of god

that in my work with god i have come to

the conclusion that this god is gracious

he is compassionate

he is slow to anger

[Music]

and he's rich in love

rich in mercy

[Music]

so the bible says

god is love

i can rest in that understanding

so when you ask why god loves me

my answer to you

is that he is love

why does god help why does god show

mercy he loves you to a point that he

tied the message to the morning do you

know what it means to tie the morning to

the to the message in the morning it

means it recycles

just because he showed it yesterday like

time

he can show it today again

i i

have a guarantee that my next week has

mercy there there is the potential of

mercy

[Applause]

there is listen there is a kind of

confidence

that you have when you know that the

mercy of god is part of the support

systems you have in your life

you no longer are intimidated by your

limitations because you know that mercy

is there

the nature of god

love

i told you you need to know the nature

of man ready

isaiah 51 and verse 5 there is something

about man pastor that if man does not

understand we will never be able to

obtain help

you see

the human species the fallen man is

proud

and arrogant by default

are we together now so there is there is

an intrinsic stubbornness that is hidden

in the fallen man and until something

about you is revealed to you you will

not be able to open up to receive mercy

from god let's see that about man

it says

[Music]

psalm 55 not isaiah psalm 51 sorry

psalm 51 verse 5 not isaiah

in iniquity

let me quote it very quickly behold i

was shaping in iniquity look up please

and in sin did my mother conceive me

before you were born

right from when you were being formed it

was not only your organs that were being

formed the very nature of sin and

rebellion followed that formation too

and he said in sin behold i was shaken

in iniquity look up please do you know

what this means that means the best of

us

unassisted by the mercy of god we do not

even know what our tendencies can be

until you know this about yourself and

you admit it it does not make receiving

message necessary

are we together

when you become full of yourself i can

do it i can make it by myself on my own

is because you do not know

the person speaking

who would have looked at a young

responsible shepherd

and believed that in that shepherd was a

murderer

if you had looked at david mama that's

the kind of person you recommend for

your daughter is that not so a

responsible gentleman who can almost die

for his father's donkey it means he can

die for your daughter

and yet you do not know that in that

innocent man is a murderer growing

there are many things that are hidden in

us that just because it has not

manifested yet it doesn't mean it is not

there man of god listen to me

i know that you are a serious man of god

and you are doing ministry you have

never encountered a challenge that makes

your prayer life to be troubled you

still have sponsors

so you may not need the mercy of god

it takes mercy to stand

ask anybody who has tried to fall

not be not falling by satan or sin or

whatever just the reality of life

hallelujah

you see people take energy drink before

they start marathon the person who is

not running is taking normal water and

he doesn't care and frankly he doesn't

need it because he's not going anywhere

are we together but the day he he does

not find a way of of you know

revitalizing his organ and then he tries

to run a marathon he may not even cross

two or three rounds and he will die

there

because he takes energy and stamina

please hear me look up please

when you know this about the nature of

man you will not wait until the day your

tendencies shock you and disappoint you

way before you get to that point you

will un-call yourself on god's mercy

are we together

[Music]

you call yourself faithful you say me

god forbid i will never touch anybody's

money you are only speaking relative to

your reality now

your wife has not become sick unto death

your mother has not become sick unto

death there are many wrong things you do

that can be done out of love not out of

evil

are we together for instance you can vow

and say god forbid me i will never go to

a herbalist i'd rather die you are right

based on the ignorance that surrounds

you the day

someone you love

looks at you and says my daughter is

this how you watch me as your mother die

you wouldn't know when you would go to a

shrine by yourself

with the chicken or the goat or whatever

you would drag it by yourself

when the bible says the heart of man is

desperately weakened don't let your life

testify of it find help first

is

am i are you getting blessed tonight

we're discussing help

so when you see men

who are who live in the reality of god's

mercy they are not just people who god

gave mercy to they are those who knew

something about themselves

[Music]

god forbid i can't withhold anything

from god me

how many things do you have first we

need to find out what you have to know

what you can withhold and not withhold

a bank account of 5000 naira with no

responsibility of course you can give

everything but ask abraham

take down thy son it's not just thy son

thy 25 year old

son that you got from waiting

can i tell you the truth

anytime you are tempted to believe

that your stamina in the kingdom and in

the faith is based on anything you have

done by yourself repent quickly because

there is a lesson that you are

programming

that you will learn that's why you see

our fathers the older they get

the more silence they become

because they've seen too many things

with their life and their conclusion is

that merciful let it remain with me now

you understand the prayer surely

goodness and mercy

we say it after service on your way out

you don't even need it you don't like it

you don't say it with passion you don't

even understand it

what you really want to surely break

through and for god's again an open door

follow me but you just say surely

goodness and mercy can i tell you

[Music]

blessed is the man

who lives in the realm of god's mercy

show me a man who has found a way of

anchoring in god's mercy forget about

that man as far as life is concerned he

has cheated life

[Music]

please listen to me i came

to hand over something to you tonight

that will change your life that is why

when men celebrate us

we know

we don't have the liberty to say it all

the time but there is something we know

there is a condition that has kept the

mercy of god perpetually in our lives

there is something about the nature of

man

the bible says in iniquity

i don't know my tendencies i don't know

the hatred that can come from my heart

i don't know the jealousy that can come

from my heart are we together

i don't even know if there is a mother

standing here talking and i would not

dare to be arrogant because many made

that kind of mouth until they felt like

a pack of cards

[Music]

haven't therefore obtained help i

continue

when you see anybody who is standing

and doing exploits for the kingdom when

they clap for us just for the sake of oh

no because the bible allows it we just

say thank god but when we go back and

we're alone this is our position

you look past my sin my guilt my shame

for your love

you look beyond me

you look beyond me

listen

can i tell you that's why i told you

tonight's teaching will extract that

arrogance component you will now see

that when you see people who are humble

it's not an issue of your personality

it's a revelation there is something

about them your nature that if you

understand the result of that revelation

is humility humility is not an

impartation there is no impartation of

humility no

humility is the resultant effect of a

careful analysis of your life with god

and without god

and you come to the conclusion that my

zone of safety is to remain perpetually

in the mercy of god

[Music]

are we together

it is not of him that we left

no of him that runeth

hear me

there are many people who were sincere

at at the time they had an accident and

died they were praying in tongues

there were many pastors who confessed

the word like you did even at the point

of killing them by bandits they said i

would not die and as they shot the gun

they died immediately

[Music]

if someone learning i have seen pastors

who fast more than me

pray more than me sincerely

we are talking of people who love god

dimensions of consecration that you will

not even come close to and sometimes

these people will come and say apostle

why is this ministry not working i

sincerely love god and i know they are

not lying

if we probably were ranked spiritually

some of us will be far far somewhere

while these people are there and yet

nothing seems to happen it is that

revelation that keeps you so when men

are clapping as though you are a winner

you are a winner but you know the

leverage that brought you there

are we together

years ago there was a gentleman who

prayed and fasted for 400 days

400 days six to six

i wrapped up the last fasting with him

man look i have seen people in my life

who have stretched this spirit thing

this spirit life you see

i've seen people who locked themselves

in dry fast for one week i'm not talking

of fasting and i'm going to break later

on dry your eyes will not see light

until it is seven days

you've heard my story many of you who

have listened to my teachings

about a woman just like um the

prophetess here

i was preaching in a pfn conference

yesterday going cano and i'm prophesying

to people and here comes this woman

wanting to receive prayers

and she couldn't speak english she was

speaking in household every 15 days this

mamma finishes this bible

15 days

15 days

and yet she was coming to stand before

me who should pray for who now

for heaven's sake

when i went to her prayer mountain the

last time i was here we went and we

visited the prayer mountain and i saw

the remarkable work

that god was doing in the life of this

woman of god there are many people in

this nation who do not come close

and yet i saw the humility i said that's

it you always see that signature

you know those who have understood the

dynamics of god's help because pride is

far from them it's not lack of

confidence i repeat again it is a

revelation

everything that happens to any man on

earth can happen to you

while someone is messing his or her life

getting pregnant without prayer

somebody who loves god sincerely husband

and wife

crying to god and saying lord show mercy

who love people

can be waiting two years three years

four years no child whereas there is a

baby factory somewhere either in this

nation or around where people who are

not even interested

children just come is a safe

how do you explain that

[Music]

these are my contemplations that brought

me to a point

of understanding the value of god's

mercy

the mercy of god is not just for sinners

the mercy of god is for men the

longevity factor in a man's life is the

mercy of god you only last to the degree

to which you have been shown mercy

not the degree you want to last can i

tell you in the days that are coming i'm

not prophesying doom it is the human

nature many people will fall like a pack

of cards not necessarily because they

are wrong

they have not mastered the system of

obtaining mercy now you understand the

prayer of blind batimeo he didn't say

heal me he said thou son of david what i

need is mercy i know what i will not

need to ask for healing your healing is

part of your mercy it is your

the healing anointing resides within the

mercy of god

hallelujah

the first expression of the help of god

is his mercy

can i tell you if there is anything you

have seen that is worthy of commendation

in the life of this man standing before

you

i tell you i'm this is not just some

preacher's talk i'm trying to preach

because i'm talking in a conference no

it is a mercy of god and i am aware of

it

and we are not ashamed to let the world

know

that it is not as though we are

sufficient in ourselves sincerely

it will be a lie to tell you that we are

not working in keeping with certain

principles but albeit remember the

beginning of my teaching

there are gaps in the equation of our

greatness that only now you know the

fact of god that feels it

mercy a gentleman someone gave a story

and he said one time they were in a

pastor's conference with our father and

the lord baba adeboye

and

other pastors were praying around the

altar you know younger ministers father

i'm tired of this level next level oh

god you know they were crying god this

cannot be this not what you showed me in

my dream and they were praying and

someone who had the privilege of lying

down close to baba's debut

he said for more than one hour all that

he was saying was mercy

mercy oh god

mercy

that is not a sinner praying that is a

wise man who knows that to lead this

kind of people it takes more than

intelligence it takes mercy

mercy

mercy oh god

ah

blessed is the man i say it again

who resides within the zone of god's

mercy your life will be a wonderful to

you

and then to everybody around you

why am i teaching you this because many

of you tonight

this is the sermon you have been waiting

for for the next season in your life

many of you are conscious of principles

and i teach principles keep learning

conscious of many other things but you

have ignored the mercy of god because it

looks like i'm not a sinner i fast i'm

pray i'm serious i love god i i sow i

give

[Music]

have you not seen people who farmed and

cows came and eggs their crops

the harvest came but he didn't reach

them

is that true

it is not of him that we left

none of him that run it

but of the lord that showed mercy there

are people who found mercy with god and

someone just walked up to them and said

are you a man of god said yes he said

listen from today

so so so percent from our business

we have god has just granted us grace we

will bless you and sow it into your life

to make your life convenient

when you are teaching financial

principles that man will sit down in

clear ignorance

admitting that it if it is based on what

you are teaching now i should not be

here even me i

know hallelujah

is someone learning

i am a product of god's mercy

now let me just tell you one more

information about mercy and then we'll

pray for tonight has god helped you

what does it mean

to show mercy i need to define that

there

are four aspects of mercy i wanted to

get number one

merci means

a compassionate treatment to someone who

is in distress

messi

a compassionate treatment to someone who

is in distress

so when you treat someone

compassionately who is in distress

that is messy number two

refraining

from punishing an offender is called

mercy are we together so number one to

treat

someone compassionately who is in

distress mercy number two

to refrain from punishing an offender

that means someone who deserves to be

punished

when you refrain from punishing that

person you have shown him a message

number three

the disposition to forgive or to pity or

to be kind

the disposition to forgive

to show pity or kindness

is called mercy

the last

is to alleviate pain

and distress

to provide relief

this is an expression of mercy i'll take

it again number one compassionate

treatment

of someone in distress

number two to re to refrain

from punishing an offender that means

the punishment that is due that offender

number three

the disposition

to forgive to pity or to be kind

and then number four

to alleviate pain

and distress to provide relief

that means look up please

[Music]

summarizing these four definitions gives

us two dimensions of mercy number one

there is message that translates to

pardon unforgiveness there is message

that translates to relieving pain and

distress are we together now

so

mercy is not just forgiving

an offender mercy is also providing

relief for someone

so if you do not need mercy as

forgiveness over something you need

mercy as a relief

for pain or something you're going

through

this is very powerful please look up

when i caught the revelation of the

mercy of god my life changed

the mercy of god i will repeat like i

gave in the example to the door the

mercy of god is not supposed to replace

your responsibility of knowing god and

working in keeping with his principles

like you would always hear me teach the

mercy of god is a system of advantage

that was provided that in addition to

your obeying all these principles

because the best of your strength will

still be limited there will still be

gaps somewhere

[Music]

the mercy of god

now listen

the mercy of god

is only administered at the instance of

brokenness i will just say that quickly

as powerful as god's mercy is not

everyone

can become a recipient of his mercy

there is a condition

there is a condition that until you

satisfy the mercy of god cannot speak

for you

that condition is called brokenness

that means every time you see someone

who is a rich recipient of god's mercy

he has satisfied that necessary and

sufficient condition of brokenness what

is brokenness and acknowledgement of

your inadequacy

and acknowledgement

of the fact that you are limited and

unassisted by god you cannot meet god's

standard

brokenness

so it is possible that many of us desire

the help of god tonight you came for

this conference to obtain help and god

wants to release this expression of his

help as his mercy but the help of god as

his mercy will come to you and not be

able to rest on you because it does not

find brokenness someone say brokenness

please shout it again brokenness

this is very important all through

scripture

everywhere you see god communicating

mercy

when

david killed you right i remember the

story with you ryan ambassador that was

what brethren psalm 51 it was david

reporting himself to god and he cried he

said in iniquity did my mother conceived

me that state of brokenness was what

earned him the title of being called a

man after god's heart

not even moses the meekest man on earth

had that title of a man after god's

heart

are we together

when you read the story of the prodigal

son

the story of the prodigal son is a

classic rendition of the ministry of

mercy the bible talks about a young man

who was a younger brother and he wanted

his shell possession and the bible says

he left and lived riotously and then the

bible says when everything had depleted

he was in that state feeding with swine

and he said unto himself he said how

many hired servants does my father have

and i am here feeding with the swine

hear what he said i will arise

say brokenness

i will arise and i will go to my father

he said and when i meet him i'll not

just say father i am your son listen i

just did whatever with my money but now

i'm back better accept me i didn't ask

myself to be here that is pride and not

brokenness

now

the church of the lord jesus christ in

teaching believers to be confident

we have shifted it overboard and it has

graduated into pride there is a healthy

line between confidence to approach him

boldly

and the spirit of reverence

most people have gone overboard

and they believe that god is just some

senior brother somewhere who you can

stand by the blood of jesus and in the

name of jesus and he must cough out

everything you need no

this god who calls himself your father

is also god

never forget

brokenness

father i admit

that by my strength and my wisdom i

cannot build this ministry it is true i

went for bible training it is true that

i fast and pray and i will continue

because your word provides those as the

template for an excelling life i do that

one because i love you but i do that to

honor the law of obedience however i

know

that it is not within me

to provide the kind of life i desire

therefore i come before you you are the

all-wise god and god says who is this

speaking a language of brokenness and

quickly you will find the help of god

there are people who pray and based on

the rules of prayer their prayers should

not be answered

there are many things based on the

theology of prayer

and yet because in the midst of all the

confusion their hearts are sincere

they can cry they don't even know who to

pray for is it the prayer is it the

father is it the son is it the holy

spirit is it an angel they can just cry

and say lord if you are there please

help me and suddenly god comes can i

tell you every time god finds brokenness

you are ready to entertain his presence

he will come

many men of god depend on power

depend on grace depend on intellect

that's why we don't have a lot of

results

listen

the person talking to you is not in

ignorance by the grace and the privilege

of god you've heard me say it

i would simply say i have obtained mercy

from god god has taken the lifetime of

many people and giving it to me i know

what it means to be a recipient of god's

mercy god is giving you explanation

right now it is not that enugu cannot

favor you it is not that your spiritual

life cannot rise

it is not that you cannot enter the

realm of visions and dreams and

prophetic encounters it does not take

god anything to give your ministry

global visibility it does not take god

anything do you know let me tell you

one of the ways that you really know

that people have been helped by god is

when you come close to them you become

disappointed because you will look for

that wow factor and you will not really

find it so what exactly about you

is really responsible for the results

and the people who tell you this is me

this is all of me you are seeing

years ago when we used to travel when i

traveled with a protocol but i it's not

now that i dress wearing all this i used

to wear a jean and my polo

and my earpiece

my palm sandals so that my leg does not

swell and when we travel for meetings

sometimes the protocol people can be

waiting sometimes even waiting you know

at the base for hours waiting for this

apostle joshua sermon and as soon as we

come out from the airplane they are

looking for him they can go to my

protocol because they seem to be more

dressed and they find out it's not the

one

and then they see this guy

on gene

polo

my smartphone i didn't even used to use

all these gadgets i used to use my small

ear 72 or so

and sometimes i watch the shock on their

faces including the host

this is what we have been waiting for

we prayed we fasted and all those who

recommended me in the church will stand

guilty we

it's not our fault

but at the end of the same meeting

you will know the difference between the

vessel and the treasure

you see that

we make our boast in the lord because we

know that outside of him we are not very

much let me tell you the truth it's not

some condemnation it's the truth

whether you live in denial one day life

will force you to agree on this thing

i'm saying

outside of god add us up we don't amount

to so much

the weight

factor in us

is his glory and his grace

this is why when we stand before the

world we point them to jesus the one who

has helped us and shown us mercy that is

why we carry the cross and we stand

proudly behind it and when people look

at us as though we are some superstars

on one hand we appreciate the sincerity

of your commendation but were quick to

let them know that listen to me

if it is this man just by intellect and

human connection and utterance and

whatever it is we don't add too much

but because he has come to us and let me

tell you sincerely what he found that

brought him

was brokenness

for someone this is your message this

night you are too proud to receive help

from god you are still leaning and

trusting on everything

after all i was in someone else's

business and when i was helping him as

an apprentice i made him a billionaire

now that i have my own business i should

be a billionaire and you are still

scrounging around because it is not of

him that we left

nor of him that runeth

but of the lord that showed mercy

of the lord that showed mercy

of the lord that showed mercy

of the lord that showed mercy

someone can be so competent and

excellent

and yet his destiny helpers are never

around and then the day he's not around

the weak alternative to him just comes

around and that day that is the day that

the person who needs the contract

wants to give out a contract of over 1

billion the person who they would have

given is not around and since you are

there they say can you do it and they

give you and by the time people are

saying what did you do

sometimes you stand and you say listen

even that contract it was not me who did

it

it was too big i had to call someone to

come and do it and yet

the credit comes to you and you are so

blessed listen what i'm teaching you is

so powerful ladies and gentlemen if you

understand what it is i'm teaching you

your life will remain an unending wonder

i stand before god every time

when i'm alone especially when i return

from meetings like this

mighty marvelous miracles

transformations by the spirit of god

and you know my phone is full of text

messages people saying all kinds of

things are possible you are this and

that and i know they are sincere there

is a place for honor but then i stand

and i look at this gentleman and i say

young man

listen

carefully there are no self-made people

in this kingdom

when they look at you

what they see

is the mercy of god is just that they do

not know

that it is called the mercy of god so

they call it any other thing but i'm

telling you the name now

are we together

any man across the globe who is doing

mighty things for the kingdom in

ministry in business if it is the god of

the bible who helped them the first

expression of the help they received

was mercy

mercy

when the lord jesus christ appeared to

me i was not fasting i was not praying i

fast i prayed but at that point i was i

didn't even ask him to come i was lying

down and he came how do you explain that

whereas there are other people saying

god i will kill myself if you don't come

he still did not come

are we together and he comes to you

it was an honor all ready for me to see

him

and then he stretches his hands towards

me

and blesses me and does all the things

that happen and look at my life today

who is like him

lion and the lamb

sitting on the throne

don't sing just listen to me

who is like you

the lion and the lamb

seated on the throne

[Music]

i will praise

our dog night

from the rising of the sun

to the end of every day

praise i don't know

all the nations of the earth

all the elders and the states

sing praise

for someone

at the end of this service by tomorrow

morning you will return back and stand

and say it's a lie what happened

what happened

what happened

[Music]

i have heard that god lived

but now i am the life that he has lifted

i have heard that god anoints you're a

man of god here that by the next meeting

you go to you will it will it will be as

if you held the charm

the grace of god and the investment of

his power upon your life

listen

i will give up anything in this life

to remain in the mercy of god

i don't trust myself outside of the

mercy of god

i don't even know what my tendencies are

outside the mercy of god my safety zone

is the mercy of god if you ever ask me

what is the secret behind your life

apostle i will tell you

an ordinary man

helped by god

[Music]

it's not a cliche it is it is the

definition of my life

helped by god

[Music]

we're going to find somewhere to pray

come again my friend

this is your life we're going to ask

that example again

you need to rise

in ministry

you need greater grace

you come from a family where

your grandfather already killed a lot of

people and based on the course that was

released legitimately

you have come as the offspring

is none of my business that's not the

business of the realm of the spiritual

is a law

[Music]

when they were dying they made

pronouncements

and said none of your daughters will see

joy because you took away my own joy now

you have shot you came you showed up

from that family and you just laugh and

everything is alright is gone and you

are seeing the mark following you

i'm running

i'm running

i'm running to the mercy

i'm running

i'm running

i'm running to the mercy seat

listen

[Music]

for as long as you are still complaining

and giving excuses it's unfair i'm a

beautiful lady people are not seeing me

find out what is covering your eyes

it will take mercy not complaining i may

graduate i even have phd and you will

see someone who said i was at the gate

with ordinary school certificate and

someone said i like your face what do

you do say sir don't harass me say i'm

leaving nigeria can you be the african

representative of my company how do you

explain that someone shout mercy

and you could shout mercy

so that

when other people are saying my skill

brought me here when other people are

saying my father's connection brought me

here

it now gets to your tone and say why are

you here among the great

how did you get here

because by your background you should

not be here

how did you get here

[Music]

everything you are doing somebody is

doing too

yet they are not getting your results

the factor is messy shout messy

man of god shout mercy

businessman shout mercy

another person respectfully speaking can

have an assembly

and his teaching

he may be making a lot of mistakes

scriptural mistakes the members are

correcting his revelation and correcting

the verse yet they will still invite

others and come and you stand and look

at the man and say what exactly is this

man preaching

john chapter 5 verse and the members

chorus 7 thank you you would think that

will annoy them and they will leave the

church

by next week

they are back again

i will tell you what he is doing behind

the scene that you are not seeing when

he goes back home

cabbie you see

we declare

your majesty

we declare

your majesty

[Music]

be here see

and that person will kneel before god

and say father

i didn't have the privilege to go to

school it's not laziness i am improving

myself now you simply sent me

to bring life and bring transformation

and you promise me you will go with me

are you john so so son so yes

the lord said somewhere in a new state

here that you are going to build him a

church see are you not surprised that

these ordinary people who are making

things happen

is that not a message enough for you

i don't downplay competence let me

repeat it again i don't downplay

adherence to principles there are

principles in life i am a teacher of the

mysteries and the principles of the

kingdom but let me tell you sincerely

when all is said and done

this is it

you have tried your best

here he comes

no it's only because you were lucky is

the clot you wore that's why you could

lift it next week you are still lifting

it again

after 10 years you are still lifting it

again because the helper remains with

you i know after five years you will not

last oh dear what a joke

once the helper is with you you will

keep rising

they were just lucky to be blessed i'm

sure that that that that car it will not

last another one will not come but the

helper comes again i'm sure that

ministry is just because the church is

around his village people know sir the

only explanation to the mysterious

continuity of great men is the help of

god

that has come as mercy

[Music]

listen

we're wrapping up

i wish i had the time to share my

testimonies and tell you my stories you

will think i'm lying

and you think i'm exaggerating

sometimes because

sadly the body of christ can

misunderstand when you say some of these

things they take it for pride

but

i live perpetually

in all

of what the mercy of god can do

me when i tell you

if you ever looking for one person

who is a recipient of god's mercy

it is this man standing before you

i have seen god do things in my life

that you can almost tap yourself and say

wake up

then say they are among the hidden the

lord has done great things for them

the lord has done great things for us

whereof we are glad

listen

the lord is calling you tonight

in addition to your prayer your fasting

your word life your consecration

powerful kingdom principles to never

compromise on

you want to saw

the energy that leaves the plane does

not come from the plane

the energy that lifts the plane is

already programmed in nature

so when you see the plane rising that

weight cannot rise like that

if the plane could rise on its own it

will rise like a bed

without speed

it needed to tap into the law

some of you you have been walking then

you've tried running you have not gotten

to that speed let his hand lift you

and all of a sudden you will see

yourself soaring in realms

realms and dimensions of the grace of

god

you will marvel and you will wander

you will lay up gold as dust

god will honor you and bless you

recently

a

an international body it's a global body

i return home and i get this letter

and

they write this letter that they want to

give me an award and i'm looking at it

and saying ah what

how does this of course it may not be

unusual that they've heard about me but

what in the world is this

an award by this body i know the kinds

of people who receive awards from that

body and i just went back i said god

what is this

what is this

what is this

that you can sit down in worship and in

awe and god will take someone else's

prayer point

and bring it for you as a gift

and say take

this is it

i live a life of worship and all

because i

thank god for showing me his mercy

my life would have been miserable

every time you think we are some kind

of extra

extraordinary people

on one hand there are sacrifices that

have been made i will tell you that in

truth

on one hand he has obtained grace to

work in keeping with certain principles

but the other side of it please don't

ask me

it is the hand of god and is mercy

for me

it is not a recitation after service

surely

goodness and mercy these two spirits

have stayed with me

i know what it means to see the goodness

of god

i know what it means to see the mercy of

god

my assignment tonight

is to prophesy over your life there is a

dimension of mercy you must enter into

this night

are we together

yes

for when that happens

you will watch your life and you will

know the difference

for some of you the moment the mercy of

god steps in you will not even spend one

month in this country believe me

all of these sudden doors will open for

you there are pastors listen by the time

the mercy of god rests upon your altar

people who come and meet you and say

tell the truth i don't know you are

someone who does uh

what they call it now harbaugh medicine

or

or bury something on diop what did you

do because i know you and you tell them

listen i came from the saw conference

and while i was seated quietly a man of

god casually talked about this messy

factor

[Music]

the mercy of god

where do i get finance to run ministry

it is messieu

it is mercy

you can cry and call people to sow and

all the millennials will be watching you

as if they'd be here

we are talking about the kingdom here

they say wow

pray and they will pray give and they

will walk away and they will walk right

to someone else and say can i have the

privilege of giving you 10 10 million

every month

mercy

there are some of you you already have

what it takes for the

i want to celebrate you in all fairness

you have walked on yourself

ministerially academically business-wise

in unfairness you have walked on

yourself

but the mercy of god has not yet rested

upon you that's why you can remain and

sweep the ground and watch ordinary

people as though they were holding a

charm

it is the mercy of god

when it is time to pray have a few more

minutes with you

i want you to humble yourself tonight

and pray and cry for mercy and say

father

i know i know

that without you

without

with you

i can do

nothing

without

you

there's no life

to

me

so i

need you

my life

today

hallelujah

one day

i was preparing

just worshipping the lord and resting

then i get this text that a group of

some business people want to see me and

they came

and they said

we're real estate people

and

we enter the covenant with god

that anywhere in the world we build our

estate we must build the house for you

till jesus comes

i don't want to tell you how many

estates they have built

across the globe today

and some of those houses have never gone

to even go and see it

there are keys to houses today

that have not even gone to see my

myself

i'm not saying this to brag

are we together sometimes it's good to

challenge people

the product of god's mercy

[Music]

product of god's mercy

there was a time within the period of

two or three weeks

god brought 18 cars

what do you do with them

will you put your leg in one and put

your head in another one what kind of

thing is that how many houses can you

live in even if you travel to every

nation

see

it is what you have that you give you

can give what there's something you are

going to receive this night i'm not

wasting your time please don't be

distracted there is something that must

come upon your life tonight

because the favor of god is the child of

his mercy thou shall arise and have

mercy upon zion is that in your bible

for the time to favor her

yeah the set time

that mobilization

no poster no nothing

coming to jesus how do you explain this

i'm not saying this to brag i hope you

you don't misunderstand it

that god will grant you

access to kings and nobles

access to their heart

and you're wandering and saying what is

this

i'm not saying this to waste your time

i'm saying it because it must work in

your life from this night

[Applause]

that you will return back and ask some

of you on your way going home you will

start seeing a strange call

and all that you'll be hearing in your

spirit is messy

messy and you pick the call and someone

will say where are you

i was in prayer and fasting and the holy

ghost spoke to me

are you john are you a booker are you

this person please come see me in my

office come with any two people you want

to get a job and they now come there and

you are wondering they just

just give them a job just like that

[Music]

there are some of you by the mercy of

god you are going to step into prepared

blessings

dimensions of blessings that have been

prepared for you i'm saying this to you

by the spirit of god

hear me there are some of you in

ministry the level of grace and the hand

of god you will begin to see your life

will surprise you prophetic encounters

supernatural visitations by the spirit

of god

there is no limit to what the mercy of

god can do

in the life of a man

because you know since copied

many people's lives

churches

ministries families have gone down even

economically

let me tell you the truth is to take

god's mercy to go down

when you have lost 1 billion or 100

million in your investment or in your

business

what kind of technology are you going to

use to gain it back

now

to take the mercy of god

i don't know how it works for others but

i can tell you how it works for me

embrace

your grace

i'm nothing

without you

your grace please stand

[Music]

take the next two minutes i don't know

going to leave you for the next two

minutes

exclusively

with the power to lift me and the power

to help me and i cry like mine but tim

the next two minutes

continue to this day

go ahead and pray

messy

[Music]

mightily by god crying for mercy

an apostle a teacher of the world cry

for mercy

of god there is not much you can do

this is true

two minutes you are crying to your god

and your maker

messy

your favor

rests on me

no i have seen

no ear has heard

what you have prepared for me

so i submit

to your work in me

till christ fall in me

[Music]

listen to me

the bible says

if my people

which are called by my name

in as much as they are called by my name

the first thing

is that they must humble themselves

and pray

and seek my face

and turn from their wicked ways it says

then will i hear from heaven and i will

forgive their sins

and heal their land

the next time

you say lord i need your help

what you are saying

is keep me in the zone of your mercy

mercy

now you know it is not an immature

spiritual prayer

when you go to the place of prayer

and you roll from left to right

crying and say show me mercy

show me mercy

it was that brokenness that god found in

the young boy

solomon that made him to receive such a

rich investment of wisdom

when solomon was asked

what do i give you

he didn't just say give me an

understanding heart he said lord i am

young

and you have given me such a great

people

who is able to lead these people he

confessed his ignorance and his

limitation

if there is something i know about god

i don't know everything about god

but there are a few things i know about

god one of it

is that the presence of god is attracted

and sustained by the cry of brokenness

not the accuracy in prayer

not the degree of compliance to the

world alone

the presence of god is attracted

and sustained

by the voice of brokenness

show me a man and a vessel that is and

remains ever broken you have found a way

of trapping god's presence to your

domain

eternally

let this mind be in you the bible says

philippians chapter 2 from verse 5 which

was also in christ jesus it says that

even though he was god he did not

consider it a robbery right that he had

that equality yet he humbled himself he

submitted himself and died even the

death on the cross he says wherefore by

reason of assuming that posture in the

spirit and even physically

god had so highly exalted him and placed

him

upon him an office that is greater than

every other office

it says that whoever invokes the

authority that comes with that office

you see that

things in heaven of things in the earth

or under the earth every tongue every

knee bowels

and every tongue confesses

that jesus is lord even to the glory of

the father

i am telling you now

that in the kingdom

and in the life

that we live in the spirit

our advantage and our edge

is maintaining that posture of

brokenness

whether you are jacob

or gideon

or

david

or solomon

or even jesus

it does not matter who you are if it is

the god of the bible you want to secure

his presence and his help

you must perpetually

remain in the place of brokenness

crying for his mercy because one genuine

encounter with god's mercy can rewrite

your life

rewrite your destiny

hallelujah

let me speak over your life

[Music]

some of you your spiritual fire has gone

down some of you your passion for

spiritual things has gone down your

prayer life is almost zero nothing to

write home about you may even be a man

of god just because you are preaching

does not mean your prayer life and your

word life is alike you are the one who

knows you're still with god some of you

right now based on the assessment of

your non-compliance to kingdom

principles you do not deserve certain

levels of the hand of god but the mercy

of god is about to speak for you can i

pray for you

in the name of jesus

we call upon

the helper of men

and the merciful god

may he show you mercy tonight

mercy over your spiritual life

mercy over your family

mercy over your finances

mercy over your ministry

mercy over your health

in the name of jesus christ

i pray that by reason of the blood

and that which happened in calvary may

mercy speak for you

the same message speaks against every

altar and every manifestation of

darkness over your life

in the mighty name of jesus christ

i speak prophetically over your life by

reason of the mercy of god rise to

heights unimagined

i open doors of opportunity for you by

the mercy of god

in the name of jesus christ

[Music]

hear me the one who comes to make your

walk with god easy

the one who comes to make your life

possible in the name of jesus he who

died and rose again i called for his

ministry in your life

in the name of jesus christ

i want you to leave this place

return home with this revelation

protect it and guard it

teach everyone you know

and let them know

that you have found a very powerful key

so when they look at you and say man of

god you are such an anointed man

appreciate them sincerely but tell them

hold on don't go yet let me tell you

something

that except for and accept by the mercy

of god

even in the midst of this plenty we do

not amount to much

added to their understanding that above

and beyond the spiritual paraphernalia

is the mercy of god that backs you

you're a businessman and god continues

to increase and multiply you when people

come to you and say what are you doing

be honest with them

show them the place of diligence show

them the place of compliance with

kingdom loss and when you are done and

they are about to go and say thank you

say hold on don't be in a rush come back

there is a dimension i need to teach you

the spirit life is not complete with

man's effort alone

there is

the help of god that grants men the

strength even to continue

you're a man of god and god is doing

much through you in this city

the east of the niger and around

when people applaud you receive it with

joy and sincerity but please i beseech

you

do well to let them know truthfully so

that beyond what you saw that you

clapped for that is the one you have not

seen and in one word it is called the

help of god i am a product

of the help of god you say

that way

your mentorship and your counsel to them

will be complete so you have left them

responsible believers

understanding the precepts of the

kingdom and the spirit that they should

walk and live by

but then in addition you leave them with

that understanding

that if your strength resides only in

the consciousness of your prayer life

and your word life and just your

obedience and all of these things the

life of peter in john 21 was a lesson

for us

but peter was a fisherman professionally

fitter had a boat that was walking he

had a net that was walking he was by the

sea where fish should be yet strangely

he did not catch fish there are times

that everything is right yet you will

still not have results

god does that in everybody's life once

in a while so that he will remind you

there are times that god himself

will stop the results from happening

so that you are surprised then he says

no it's not that this thing should not

work i stopped it only to bring to your

awareness that there is still another

dimension

the help of god

because when your strength continues to

lift you sometimes you can forget it's a

weakness in men it has nothing to do

with being good or bad

it's a witnessing man i know if i go for

the meeting people will be healed and

blessed i know my glory be to god but

you don't mean it

and they laugh and say he has come again

mighty man of god so there are times god

will draw your ears and because we are

usually very stubborn and we don't pay

attention the only way he

helps us to turn is to withdraw results

every time god withdraw results man

would turn to him and you say it was not

about the results i wanted your

attention remember

that i am still there

may the lord bless you tonight

in the mighty name of jesus

now please hear me

tomorrow i want to encourage everyone in

as much as i i hope i've obtained

permission can i invite everyone to come

sir because i want to share something

that is very powerful you need to

understand the spirit life listen

carefully

don't think it's just a leaders meeting

just to come and teach administration

and the rest there is something about

the spirit life

that if you do not understand in this

end time you will not be able to stand

are we together yes

he said those who walk not by the flesh

but by the spirit

you will need to know how to understand

the dynamics

of the spirit life throughout tomorrow a

teaching will center around that i will

be showing you a few things

and i trust that someone will be

receiving an impartation that will

really transform your life so tomorrow

in the morning eight o'clock come to

what

nine o'clock it starts and then the

evening session please invite everybody

you know in enugu including those who

need to connect online and tell them

that god is helping them may i also

request that as you return home please

try to listen to this message again

search for it the church social media

platform is there listen to it and pray

with it

the lord bless you i decree and declare

that your return home is safe

you are blessed in the name of jesus

because of that which you have received

tonight let the mercy of god begin to

speak instantly

the lord bless you

in jesus name i pray

amen and amen thank you very much
